Yep, it's the added on tax that drives it up. Here in Maryland it's 46.1 cents tax per gallon 🤬.. I filled up today @ $2.93 per gallon, that's the cash price. Their premium is $4.19 per gallon. 

I go to the Costco station whenever I'm in that area because of the price. The main price setter in our area is called QT or The Quick Trip. The one closes to our home is 298.9 and the ones close to the metro are at 287.9. They tend to price their gas at whatever they think the traffic will bare.

I usually fill up @ BJ's warehouse, but I didn't have my card with me. They're usually cheaper than the other gas stations by 10 cents per gallon.

In central Texas gas prices are running around $2.50 a gallon and we aren't complaining. Sometimes it goes up to $2.75 but it's been pretty stable. Here's hoping it stays the same. On the other hand, living in a small Hill Country town, getting any serious shopping done that's not online involves two hours of driving to Austin or Ft Worth.

Being that its LA, I wonder if it might have been one of the movie cars.  I seem to recall they made 6 different cars for the filming and I know there is an original one is at the Petersen Museum.  Heck, I once worked traffic control at a movie ("Pontiac Moon") where there were two 1951 Pontiac Chieftains-brush painted in tan(!) and two Amphicars when I'd never seen more than one at any one time.

I'll bite. The roadster is way cool, but what the heck is that big tired beast?

A Miata based kit body.  I know someone who does other bodies for Miatas.

David:  Sherpa, designed for Arctic terrain, but I saw a video of one dominating a Mud Bog.

Isn't this a Miata with a strong Ferrari fixation?

Not entirely sure, might be. I was surprised to see it, mostly classics, a few exotics and tons of new corvettes around where I live. Those things are as common camry's here

Now I know it's miata based. Thanks. That sherpa is awesome. I want one.

Bad pic but I caught a 4Runner in it's native habitat, the toll road. This one had the roof rack and the water cans, ready to brave the suburban wastelands!
